So many particulars. So many questions.
I always imagine the proccess is done by a bare chested, muscled man banging a massive gong like in the J Arthur Rank films. I'd pay for that.

What I want to know is - if this healing works by the sound vibrating your body, surely you can just play a recording of a gong through a decent pair of speakers to have the same effect
maybe its like how music allegedly sounds purer on vinyl despite all scientific evidence to the contrary
I guess because there'll be frequencies that such a setup can't reproduce.What I want to know is - if this healing works by the sound vibrating your body, surely you can just play a recording of a gong through a decent pair of speakers to have the same effect
Anyway, outlandish and ill founded scientific claims aside, it actually sounds quite good. I reckon I'd try it.

Hardly getting over it.
I've been to a gong bath and it's a cool and relaxing experience.
If you want to understand it, you should go along and experience it, 'stead of sitting on your keyboards.
You're a notorious hippy, though. Of course you thought it was a "cool and relaxing experience!

Why? It would prove nothing. Nothing so anecdotal could justify her outlandish pseudo-scientific claims of health benefits.

are we there yet?
I reckon it would be nice and relaxing but I'm not sure if I want to pay £?? to have nice and relaxing. I'd prefer steam rooms to relax in.
Medical benefits? Science does not compute.

I forgot the robust nature of U75 debate - particuarly when it concerns new age 'alternative' remedies.

Btw I'm a lover of meditation/mindfulness. But I don't need gongs to do that.

Alternative to 'real'.

What do you call alternative medicine that works...?

A good as time as any to remember the wonderful John Diamond and his uncomplementary book on 'complementary' medice.
At present it is politically incorrect for doctors to criticize alternative medicine practitioners (though the favour is rarely returned), and everywhere they seem to have free rein to set up shop, mislead and extort money from the vulnerable. In Snake Oil John campaigns to redress this imbalance, to take the ‘alternativists’ apart with logic and to point out the idiocy of any philosophy that believes when standardized tests show ginsengsucking not to work, it is the tests and not the treatment that should be thrown away. Sometimes a diagnosis of cancer brings out the best in a person. The everyday tragedy of the condition is that, suddenly in the middle of things, you find that they are gone.

Block porn and now this - Brixton is truly fucked...time for The Resistance...
Time to sit down and, instead of trying something new, watch the latest piece of American-produced opium for the masses?

I agree. I have some in my fridge. It probably hasn't even been peer-reviewed but I intend to use it nevertheless.
I was referring to your choice of escapist, fantasist image.

You know they use colloidal silver in hospitals to stop bacterial infection...
